Kiss the Ring: An Urban Tale (Paperback)

Meesha Mink

From one of the most daring voices in urban fiction comes a sexy
new novel about a modern-day Foxy Brown who goes undercover in a
dangerous quest for revenge.
Naeema "Queen" Cole takes care of herself. From the death of her
parents when she was just eleven years old to when she found
herself pregnant and alone at sixteen, Naeema has had to make her
own way in the world. She gave up her son for adoption and became
an apprentice at a barber shop, making just enough money to pay the
bills and get high. She tried being a wife, but ultimately found
that she and Tank, now her ex-husband, are better friends and
occasional lovers than partners. Naeema prefers to be on her own;
no responsibilities, no rules.
But the sudden and brutal murder of Brandon, the son she never
knew, forces Naeema to reconsider the way she has lived her life.
Brandon was involved with a notorious band of Newark bank robbers,
and Naeema is convinced his gang life was her fault. Desperate to
avenge her son's death and determined to take justice into her own
hands, Naeema becomes "Queen" as she infiltrates the gang to
discover her boy's killer. But when she starts to fall for the
leader of the crew, will she still have the resolve to do what must
be done?
Filled with gritty realism and unexpected plot twists, this
page-turner will keep you guessing as Naeema struggles to do
whatever it takes to right her wrongs.
